Textiles Recycling Expo USA 2027

Textiles Recycling Expo USA 2027 is a two-day exhibition and conference taking place on 7–8 April 2027 at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The event is dedicated to textile recycling and circularity, bringing together recyclers, textile and fibre manufacturers, fashion brands, policymakers, technology providers, waste managers, NGOs, and other stakeholders across the textile value chain. The 2027 edition will be co-located with the new Textiles Manufacturing Expo, connecting textile production with reuse, recycling and circularity.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of the expo is to accelerate scalable textile recycling solutions in North America. It focuses on technologies, business models, policy developments and value-chain collaboration needed to reduce textile waste and increase the recovery and reuse of fibres and materials. The event also provides a platform for understanding the implications of growing extended producer responsibility requirements and other regulatory developments.

Key Activities

The event combines a two-day exhibition with a dedicated conference programme, technology showcases, expert discussions and networking. Visitors can explore sorting, shredding, mechanical and chemical recycling technologies, reclaimed fibre production, collection systems and circular textile solutions. The co-located Textiles Manufacturing Expo gives attendees access to technologies spanning the wider textile lifecycle.

You’ll explore

• Textile collection, sorting and recovery
• Mechanical and chemical recycling technologies
• Fibre-to-fibre recycling and reclaimed materials
• EPR, regulation and textile waste policy
• Circular business models and supply chains
• Innovation across textile manufacturing and recycling

Significance

The expo is significant because the North American textile recycling market is entering a period of regulatory and technological change. California's textile EPR legislation and growing interest in circular production are increasing the need for scalable collection, sorting, recycling and material recovery systems. The event provides a dedicated meeting point for the organisations developing and implementing these solutions.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect exposure to new recycling technologies, market developments, regulatory changes and potential business partners. The event is designed to support technology discovery, supplier relationships, investment and commercial partnerships, while encouraging collaboration across brands, manufacturers, recyclers, policymakers and solution providers.
